What role does urban space play for media institutions and how can space be used as medium, as tool for strategic institutional communication and as interface of institutional representation?

What is ‚innovative‘, what is ‚creative‘ contributions that contemporary planners, researchers and designers can offer to media institutions in the 21st century? Which role does interactivity play for the production of urban media within a city like Vienna?
